Cable.....a necessity??

Yes this was in another post. Do you think if someone can't afford to feed their own family, they should be paying a cable bill? It isn't like heat, or electricity or water. I bet if Social Services knew they were paying cable they would give them less in FS.

I absolutely needed cable to have my job, which was all I could find at the time when I had a small infant, and I worked from home remotely. I could not have done that job without internet. Despite the income I received, which was a pittance, I was still able to obtain food stamps. It did not affect my FS, and it also took into account my cable bill.

Internet is an absolute necessity in order to job hunt, look for jobs, and do part time remote work when caring for children who you can't afford to place in daycare. As well as fill out all of the forms for your government subsidies.

While at the time I didn't have cable tv, I did once get cable tv free merely because I purchased the bare bones cable internet package.
